Flexible freestanding Cladophora nanocellulose paper based Si anodes for lithium-ion batteries

• Freestanding, lightweight and flexible Si paper anodes are prepared via a straightforward paper-making process using Cladophora nano-cellulose, silicon nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes as the building blocks. The uniform Si particle distribution and strong adhesion of the Si nanoparticles to the porous, conductive and flexible nanocellulose/carbon nanotube 3D matrix yield specific capacities of up to 800 mA h g(-1) (based on the weight of whole electrode) and very good cycling performances.
